QUESTION 1 5° 5 kN The two 5-degree wedges shown are used to adjust the position of the column under a vertical load of 5 kN. Determine the magnitude of the forces P required to raise the column if the coefficient of friction for all surfaces is 0.40. ound off to two (2) decimal places answer range: +/-0.05 units 4.53
